We discussed this before and it has become a topic at HSBW. Here's the article Who's Killing Youth Sports. I resurrected the article because recent research shows that 1:200 HS baseball players make it to the pros. I would argue these numbers as being way off as the NCAA analysis did not include Non-NFHS members and it did not include the rising number of foreigners taking MLB, MiLB spots (Last year 28%). With 750 MLB spots and approximately 120 new spots opening up each year, filled by 30% non-American players this makes the number of HS players making it to the top spots more like 1:15,000.
